I usually only use the Hachiya for drying and cookies... deeply sticky, delicious cookies. My friend Teresa's Mom used this very basic recipe and I have messed about with it - haven't for years, though; the persimmons never last that long because D. eats one a day in his lunch.<br /><br />Persimmon Cookies<br />1/2 cup butter<br />1/2 cup sugar<br />1 egg<br />1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />2 cups all-purpose flour<br />1/2 teaspoon baking soda<br />1/2 teaspoon baking powder<br />1/4 teaspoon salt as dry ingredient<br /> <br />1/2 teaspoon ground cloves<br />1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon<br />1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg<br />1 cup raisins (optional)<br />1 cup chopped nuts (walnut/pecans?)<br />1/4 teaspoon salt to go with fruit<br />1 1/2 cup persimmon pulp<br />Directions:<br />1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).<br />2. Cream together the shortening and sugar. Add egg and vanilla; mix well.<br />3. Sift together the dry ingredients: flour, soda, baking powder, first 1/4 tsp. salt, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir flour mixture into creamed sugar mixture.<br />4. Add optional raisins, chopped nuts, some people add dates, second 1/4 tsp. salt and persimmon pulp; mix well.<br />5. Drop by 2" cookie scoop on greased or parchment lined cookie sheet. These will spread a bit, so leave sufficient space. Bake for 12 -15 minutes.<br /><br />tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.com
